About the Course

Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life. How can you define energy in life? Have ever thought about ways of how carbohydrates like glucose from your diet can be used for extracting energy? A scientific field that focuses on energy production and flow though living cells and organisms is called bioenergetics. Energy metabolism covers various biochemical ways of energy transformation and regulatory mechanisms of over thousands chemical reactions. Without fine control of those metabolic processes, cells and organisms cannot maintain activities linked to life. This 7 week-course will give you a clear introduction to the basic fundamentals of energy metabolism. We will first establish the concept of energy metabolism and subsequently examine biochemical steps involved in energy production from glucose oxdiation as well as glucose synthesis via photosynthesis. We will also learn about metabolic reactions related to fat as well as regulatory actions among different organs. Finally, dysregulated energy metabolism in pathological conditions such as diabetes and cancer will be discussed. Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life.

AMAZING!!! Best biochemical course EVER. You learn so much, despite it says is for begginers, i consider you have to know a little bit about chemistry so you can understand it better. Loved it!!!!

excellent info about what happens to food, being converted to glucose etc and being used in muscles...the energy pathways, enzymes and chemical processes are described in a clear and concise way.

2 stars for the information given

But, the subject was really boring for me, I forced myself to finish this course

Not as challenging as I thought. Doesn't really go over metabolic cycle for vitamins.

The videos do not flow (many pauses, repetitions), there are several annoying sounds in the background and the intonation is flat. The content seems quite interesting and with the right level, however, I can not keep watching the videos.
